What this covers
How we work with businesses on this
Invoice-matched payments
Convert and pay the invoiced amount in the supplier's currency.
Scheduled settlements
Work to your payment terms and cycle rather than ad hoc instructions.
Beneficiary details held securely
Supplier details are verified once and used for subsequent payments.
Forward planning
Where the schedule is known in advance, discuss fixing rates for future settlements.
Built around your purchase cycle
Importers typically order on a cycle, receive invoices in a foreign currency, and settle on agreed terms. The currency conversion sits inside that cycle rather than alongside it.
Paying a supplier in their own currency can also make commercial conversations easier: the supplier receives the amount they invoiced, without the ambiguity of a conversion at their end.
